Versions
Love Is Not Enough
This is the original album version. Beginning with a simple drum loop as the synthesizer's delay effect from the end of "The Hand That Feeds" fades away, a tom and bass drum pattern in a different drum loop soon enter on top. A loud, distorted verse bassline and vocals soon enter. A distorted guitar riff enters halfway through this verse, which then opens up into the chorus with more prominent guitars. Reznor's vocals in the choruses mark one of the first occasions he would add extra-lyrical "words," specifically "hey," in between the lyrics, a technique he would go on to use quite often in many songs on ensuing tours. A bridge featuring loud melodic guitar follows the second chorus, which resolves into a quieter denouement with repeated high register wordless background vocals. The song soon ends as suddenly as it began.
Love Is Not Enough (Instrumental)

Lyrics
The more that we take The paler we get I can't remember what it is We try to forget The tile on the floor So cold it can sting In your eyes is a place Worth remembering For you to go and take this To smash it apart I've gone all this fucking way To wind up To wind up back at the start Hey the closer we think we are Well it only got us so far Now you got anything left to show? No, no, I didn't think so Hey, the sooner we realize We cover ourselves with lies But underneath we're not so tough And love is not enough It hides in the dark Like the withering vein We didn't give it a mouth So it cannot complain It never really had a chance We'd never really make it through And to think I believed I believed I could get better with you Hey the closer we think we are Well it only got us so far Now you got anything left to show? No, no, I didn't think so Hey, the sooner we realize We cover ourselves with lies But underneath we're not so tough And love is not enough
The final lines of the first verse were changed to:
